Ksenia Saliy, a gymnast from Moscow, shared her preparations for the third stage of the international Cup of the Strongest tournament in Kazan. The athlete is competing under a quota from the Sky Grace International Association.<blockquote>"I've come quite a long way already. The summer has passed, a lot of work, two practices a day. And I approached it in a good mood because I really wanted to compete in this competition. I changed three routines, three completely different looks. I worked hard to convey each image," Ksenia said.</blockquote>She spoke in detail about her programs.<blockquote>"The first new routine is the hoop, where I have a shaman-like look. I airbrushed it myself, wrapped it around a hoop, and made it look like a shaman's drum. Then I got a new ball. The Flight of the Bumblebee is quite popular. We also tried to make it a little unusual and airbrushed the ball to look like a bumblebee. And the ribbon is very sensual, very delicate. And I really like it. I'm very inspired by Sasha Soldatova. I really like her. And I watch her performance at the World Championship every now and again, where she won first place," she said.</blockquote>Ksenia added that she was grateful to the Sky Grace International Association for the opportunity to participate in the tournament.<blockquote>"I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Sky Grace International Association, because it gave me the opportunity to compete in these competitions and fight for a spot in the finals," the gymnast said.</blockquote>Based on the results of both stages, Ksenia demonstrated the best result among the gymnasts who received a quota. Her coaches are Anna Dyachenko and Ekaterina Shumilova.

The Academy of Martial Arts is hosting a training camp for gymnasts from the Bryansk Region

Veronika Malinina, the Academy student from St. Petersburg, told what she remembered from the Our Future training camp in Novogorsk:<blockquote>"I really liked the training camp. We had dancing in the morning, then choreography. General physical training in the afternoon, then training. And I learned a lot of new things. We worked on the program, worked on risks and on artistry. These control training sessions are very useful. They give us comments, mention mistakes that need to be corrected, and which ones need to be worked on in the program. We danced different dances. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, cheerful. Dancing helps to feel the music better, because now there are dynamic changes, this is very important in the program."</blockquote>The athlete thanked Anna Dyachenko for inviting and organizing the training process:<blockquote>"I thank Anna Dyachenko for inviting us to this camp, for giving us the opportunity to participate in it, for organizing this camp. And for giving a lot of new advice that I will use."</blockquote>
